Taser Hit Killed Thetford Man

The longtime companion of a
Thetford man who died after a shot from a state police stun gun says she's not
surprised by the autopsy that shows the electric charge killed him.

State police late Friday said
the cause of Macadam Mason's death was cardiac arrest due to an electrical
weapon discharge.

Mason, who was 39, lived with
Theresa Davidonis at her home in Thetford. Davidonis says the autopsy confirms
what she witnessed in June.

"I knew that day. I watched
him die," she says. "I mean, I watched the barbs fly; I watched them hit his
chest. I watched his eyes roll back in his head. And I watched the most
graceful fall I've ever seen in my life."

Four police officers came to
her house after Mason had called a New Hampshire hospital threatening to harm himself or others.
Davidonis says Mason was suffering the after-effects of an epileptic seizure.
She says Mason was often disoriented and distraught for a day or two after an
epileptic episode.
